Ha,that's great! I just hope it doesn't invite Trendy back here.Gawd that would be awfull! Since I posted a comment directed at Dweezil about Gary on The Meeting Place thread and Dweezil responded,I haven't seen anymore rationalizations spewing forth from the Trendmonger over there on DZW.Maybe he got a spankin'? It t'would be deserved fer sure! {-

He's lurking,taking down note's and making a list of names.Remind you of someone> Tailgunner Joe MacCarthy and his witch-hunting pals...wait.Trendy has no "pals"! He's taking on this most *impotent* task all by his lonesome.What a guy! What a joke!

"The Playground Psychotics forum has been indefinitely closed to new posts.

Although the Admins of zappateers.com believe in, and promote, free speech it has come to the point where we feel that this forum is being abused. Just because you 'can' say something doesn't mean you 'should'. The intention of PP has always been to act as a 'safety net' - a place where members may post messages that are just a bit too harsh for the rest of the site. It was never intended that it be used to abuse and annoy people simply for the sake of doing so.

Unfortunately, this is what has been occurring more and more often lately. If members wish to sling shit at each other just because they enjoy slinging shit then there are ample other places on the Internet in which to do it. The vast majority of posts in PP have nothing whatsoever to do with Zappa, his music, or his life and legacy, and we find no reason to provide a place for such non FZ-related material. We do not wish to censor, we simply wish to keep the site focused on Our Mutual Hero. When, and if, we re-open the PP forum we will expect it to be used accordingly.

WARNING: There will be an absolute zero-tolerance policy regarding abusive PP-style posts in the rest of this site. ANY member who posts such things in the other forums will be banned - either temporarily or permanently - at the sole discretion of the site Admins. One warning will be given. You know what's polite and what's not, and if you're in doubt then just don't post it.

That is not to say that you must avoid controversy, nor that your posts must be suitable for young children, but you do need to use your common sense.

Now, let's get back to the MUSIC!

!ZAPPACHEERS"

It's always been an issue to keep your users at bay. It was like this in the days I surfed on bullboards: some people just take sheer joy out of assholing around, no matter how high their phone bills would get back then. When you want to keep your place free of rules, you in general don't expect people to act like an asshole. I discovered this when both Zombie and Isaac were butchering each other at the Goose. It made the site limb: no-one outside those two clowns would post anymore. I had to step in, close a major thread and give both a final warning. Both were eventually banned.

Freedom Of Speech, A Complex Issue, by yours truly. In stores this December!

Oh I'm so proud of you Bonny, just like a true European Socialist Dictator...

This forum has rules like any other: it's why some users are banned, it's why Batty was no longer allowed to post his Batty awards. But there aren't any listed, spammers are just requested to leave. Could somebody set up the board rules and make these available to all users?

And I still think it was a shitty thing to do to forewarn me that even one more of my shitty Batty Awards would result in my permanent banning. It had to be some shithead who gave a lot of shit to "Markey" that resulted in that shitty warning! Shit! I almost shit myself when I saw that shit! Well, no shit!

I was not a fan of them, I'm terribly sensitive for that kind of thing. Mikey and the ZFT have the full right to forbid you from posting them, whether it makes sense or not. They also have the full right to make me remove the JD logo from my signature.

I think that folks should censor themselves. Not in terms of language on an FZ board, but in terms of content. I would just hope that if posters get banned, they get warned by Mikey first, and maybe get told what their infractions are as well...
